  • Open your lips
    Let your tongue gently slide across your partner's lips. If he or she doesn't draw back at this point, you can explore a little further with your tongue, sliding your tongue into your partner's mouth while continuing to kiss or "peck" him or her. Quickly, if the passion is mutual, your partner will catch on and do the same back to you.

  • Begin kissing
    Gentle kisses on closed lips to begin which is just fine. It might help to keep your eyes closed, allowing you to dive into the ocean of desire and swim together in your minds.

  • Lean in for the kiss
    Your partner should respond and lean towards you as well. Avoid bumping one another's noses - make sure to angle your faces to avoid this.

  • Take time
    Make sure both of you want to be intimate by kissing. Don't assume that just because you're dating that you have to make out. Both of you must feel that this is right.

  • Making out generally applies to kissing, sometimes for a long time and sometimes with passion. Apart from the fact that kissing another person comes very naturally when you care for that person, there are some suggestions here to help you overcome the fear and be confident that you can get it right.

    Get comfortable
    Nothing ruins the sense of the occasion more than sitting or standing awkwardly. Go somewhere that you won't be bothered or stared at. Make sure the place, time, occasion are all right.
